America at 250: Part 3
American food has a bit of a poor reputation. People conflate it with massive portions, lots of fat, salt, and an emphasis of quantity over quality. They’re not entirely wrong; America has that reputation for a reason. But to conclude that American Food = Bad is an uninformed, ignorant take. It is also one I…

America at 250: Part 2
There is a young, semi-prominent public intellectual that I follow semi-loosely. I met him many years ago in Dallas while at the Incel Academy, and thought he was quite interesting. You can find more about his work HERE. It’s worth subscribing to his Substack. There is a very interesting idea that he has been working…

America at 250: Part 1
1759 days have elapsed between the day I first came to the USA, and today. While not all of them have spent on American soil, it has been a significant period of time. Enough time, perhaps, to make at least some semi-formed reflections. This evening, my sister and I went to watch the USA play…

Jazzy
Over the summer, Denver runs a City Jazz evening on Sundays. Tonight was the first time I had attended, and it was particularly pleasant. We chose a spot in the shade to combat the temp, and about 50 meters from the main stage. The combination of hot weather, warm pasta salad, cool jazz and cold…

Ed
It’s the Fourth of July. Happy birthday America! I think I’ll do a series this week on what I think about America, but today, I would like to focus on our trip to Mile High Stadium to see Ed Sheeran play. Ed, England’s most famous singer since Amy Winehouse, was a strange pick for Independence…

Rodeo
Last night, Vic, O, Ky and I went to the Granby Rodeo. It was a great time. For Octavia, she’s just a fan of the animals. There were lots of horses stomping around, and where we sitting had lots of sheep in a pen. That, along with jumping up and down on the bleachers, was…

Shout out
It was a dry winter, and so far a hot summer. As such, the great State of Colorado is under Stage Two Water restrictions and a total fire ban. Fair enough. However, we are staying in the mountains for the Fourth of July long weekend, and out in the lobby, they have one of those…

Fable, Enabled
It has been a busy few days for Dario and the team at Anthropic. After the US Government essentially shut down their latest model, Fable 5, the AI community has been begging for its return. Well, today was the day. I’m super stoked to give it another spin, especially on a few projects that I…

Man, Model, Me
For the past few weeks, I have been competing in a three way tournament to predict the winner of the FIFA World Cup. Unlike most tipping competitions, where you compete against your friends, I am doing something slightly different. The two competitors are Model, and Market. Market is the aggregated betting odds of each match,…

Arrival
My sister, Victoria, touched down today. She will be staying with us for a few days, which is super lovely. She’ll be spending some time with us in Denver, and a few days in Wyoming and Nee York with friends. Between the hustle, bustle, and plane trips for her, it’ll be nice to spend some…
